A person who travels to a city solely because it’s featured in a popular magazine, or is trending on social media.
My friend is such a city fiend, she is visiting Chicago only because National Geographic featured it in their magazine.

the process of learning the ins and outs, the hustle and bustle, the underground, the hole-in-the-walls, how to navigate a 5 or 6 corner intersection, public-trans routes, neighborhoods, festivals, etc. of a large, sprawling, urban community that is classified as a city, more than likely said city has a population over 1 million and is known by most people around the world, i.e. Chicago, Sydney, Beijing, London, New York, Berlin, Tokyo, Rio De Janeiro, Mumbai.
One-Chance Jack became cityfied when he learned that he had to push the rear door of the bus open, but it was too late as he was already two blocks down the route.

Mary-Angela showed off that she was cityfied as she displayed her extraordinary driving skills as she handled a six-corner intersection making it from Milwaukee to Damen smoothly, while acknowledging the cyclists on the road and outwitting a cabbie. She then gave her passenger a bit of information about the Wicker Park neighborhood. Mary-Angela is quite cityfied.

Cityfied Design

D & B Cityfied Design took my well loved furniture, applied their "City" design and "Rural" values, and made them the perfect work of art for my home.

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
I was folding my clothes and a huge hair spider fell out onto my hand
